FRIENDLY Hoddesdon 400-8 (54 overs) PADDINGTON 268 all out (40 overs) Hoddesdon won by 130 runs FIRST the good news. Paddington got a team out on Sunday after a two-week hiatus in which they were unable to field a full XI.

The bad news was a side shorn of their five best players got hammered for 400.

The West Londoners replied with a decent 128-1 off 19 overs at tea. But whatever was in the sandwiches didn't agree, as Paddington fell apart once John Bailey (83) and Steve Bunning (51) departed. ..SUPL:
